SDturp Eane ^^lieatix.

The entertaining Corned yof-S/ze Stoops to Conquer, was performed
liere, on Saturday evening, to an exceedingly good house. Miss Mor-
daunt sustained, for the second time, the character of JMissHardcastle^
in a very pleasing manner ; her acting in the scene where Marlow mis-
takes her for the barmaid, was arch and spirited ; and in the last
scene she mimicked his sheepishness and his swaggering with great suc-
cess, and was loudly applauded. The scene between Farren and Jones,
where the one is astonished at the familiarity of the landlord, and the
otiier equally so at the effrontery of the modest youth, was excellently^
acted, and Farren's exit was marked by repeated plaudits. We never
saw Liston more amusing, or more full of fun, than in Tony Lumpkin,
and the whole of his performance excited the loudest laughter. Two
elegantly dressed ladies in one of the private boxes were almost hys-
terical in their merriment at his drollery. After the Comedy, the Farce
of X Y. Z. was performed, followed by The Scape-Goat. Mr. Far-
ren's personatien of the unsophisticated old pedagogue was highly en-
tertaining, and Mrs/Orger's tongue, in Jlolly Maggs, seemed like the
perpetual motion ; her rustic lover, Rohin, was represented by IMr.
Webster in a natural and clever manner, and the Farce altogether went
off v/ith so much spirit that the whole of the audience remained ti4l
the end, though it was near mid-night.

Cedent €*artiea <i:ficatre»

On our arrival at this Theatre on Saturday evening, we found bills
posted at the doors, announcing " that in conscijuence of the sudden
and severe indisposition of Miss Ellen^rree, it would be impossible
for that lady to appear before the public ; 3]iss Lav^rence had, there-
fore, undertaken to perform Lady Elizabeth Gray, in The First of
Jlay ; and, that The DeviVs Eliaiir, would be substituted for The
Rohber's Wife.*' Under these circumstances, the performance of
IMiss Lawrence would have been entitled to great indulgence had it
been ever so defective ; instead of which, it was replete with grace
and spirit, aed left little cause to regret the absence of Miss Tree,
except as it originated from illness. After the Comedy, the Farce of
The fVeaihercocJc was acted, in which Mr. Balls made his second
appearance as Tristram Fickle, and sustained the character with so
much ability as to receive the most decided and unanimous applause.
The quaker-scene between him and Miss Keily was admirably acted,
and excited much mirth. Mr, Balls was also very happy in his per-
sonation of the lawyer. His acting was bold and spirited throughout
the whole of this somewhat extravagant part, and if he only evince

the same judgment and ability in other and more legitimate characters,
he will be a most vatuable acquisition to this hciise. JMiss Kelly's
Variella was marked by all the liveliness and fascination which distin-
guish the comic efforts of that talented actress. The DeviVs Elixir
concluded. — The house was thin.

The new drama which is to be acted on Thursday, at Covent Gar-
den Theatre was sent anonymously to a friend of Mr. C. Kemble. The
author is said to be a highly accomplished gentleman, and quite a no-
vice in dramatic writing. C. Kemble will play the Bard of Avon, in it,
and Mrs. Gibbs his mother. Wrench will personate Tarleton, and
Warde, Burbage.

The following letter of thanks was sent by Miss Fanny Kemble, the
morHing after she received the bracelet

" It is with a deep feeling of gratitude and delight, that I now
thank you for the kind, and highly flattering compliment you have
paid me. That my exertions have been successful, I most thankfully
rejoice, at the same time that I acknowledge how much 1 have been
encouraged by the kindness, and good wishes of all around me ; and
^I am anxious to assure you, that the first idea of essaying my powers
""was suggested to me by your adherence to my father when absent, and
in mo^t distressing perplexities. Believe me, the testimony I last night
received from you, is a source of pride and heartfelt satisfaction to
xne, and I shall preserve both the gift and the letter, to the end oi my
life, as memorials of one of ids happiest moments.

*' Frances Anna Kemble."

To the Editor of The Theatrical Obserijer.

Dear Mr Editor, I address you from the Cigar Divan, King-street, Covent
Garden, having just popt in to take a cup of Coffee, whiff a true Havannah,

On Monday, must take another peep at the two new views, at Mie Diorama

merely pictures. Shall put off ray journey to Italy, as I'm told, sub rosa, we
shall have other views from that classic soil ; and if as good as St. Peter's wiU

On Tuesday, I drop into the Exhibition of Sculptute, in Old Bond .Stree',
to view the figures, life size, of Taui O'Shanter and Souter Johnny — work of
a s'elf-taught artist, James Thorn — delighted beyond measure — fully expected
to hear Tarn's upioa ous laugli — the expression so perfect ; pose of figures
admirable. Whoever has red Burns, (and who has not?) must see them,— This
Tery ingenious Exhibition closes in the course of six weeks.

On Wednesday, I took a walk to inspect the magnificent exhibition of Mu-

much delighted with her. Now as it happens that Miss Keuible has
nerer plajed on a Thursday evening, there must be some mistake ; we
could have wished that she had been there on Wednesday evening,
when the bracelet |was piesented, as it would doubtless have been
iBOst gratifying to her, to have been present when so elegant a compli-
ment was paid to her niece's talent ; and her presence would have
heightened the pleasure Miss Kemble must have felt in receiving it. —
We understand, that a venerable nobleman, who is considered a pro-
found critic, ha3 sent to Miss Kemble with a complimentary letter, a
present of 100 guineas.

SDtuvp Sane Cfjcatte.

We last night experienced a great treat at this Theatre, m witness-
ing the performnnce of Julius Caesar^ one of Shakspeare's Plays which
is equally interesting on the stage, or in the closet. Young's Brutus
is only inferior to that of his lamented great predecessor in the part,

iityd

CcBsar feared, " sleek headed,*' and " smiling in such a soit as if he
mock'd himself.'* Young's bearing in the first and second acts, last
night, was calm and dignified, perfectly in character ; but in the third
act, where, after sacrificing Ccesar, he harangued the populace, he^
was highly animated, and powerfully efiFeclive. We never heard a finer
piece of energetic declamation than the speech from the Rostrum, as
delivered by him ; it drew down imnriense applause. In the famous
quarrel-scene he was equally excellent, forming by the philosophic
calmness of his manner, a striking contrast to the fiery and impetuous
Cassius ; the tone in which he uttered " For your life you durst not,"
was particularly happy :^ — his acting with Lucius, and on the appear-
ance of the ghost, was truly admirable, and his death was managed
with great skill. Mr. Cooper's Cassius deserves mueli praise ; he had
evidently taken great pains to study the character, had formed a
very correct conception of it, and his execution was vigorous and ju-



THE THEATUICAL OBSERVER.

dicious; he acted up to Young in the scene of their quarrel excellontly*
and came in for a full share ot the plaudits which were lavished on
their exertions. Mr. Wallack looked uncommonly well as JIark AU'
ihony, and acted as well as he looked ; the groat scene, that in which
he raises the fury of the populace by his artful appeal to their pas-
sions, was admirably acted throughout, and received, as it merited,
great applause.

Farren'5 Casca was very good", his description of Ccesav's rejection
of the crown, was given with much dry and sarcastic humour. IMr.
H. Wallack, brother to the stage-manager, made his first appearance
before a London audience as Julius Ccesar, a part which does not
afford an actor much oppoitunity to display great talent, and has been
always represented by a second or third rate performer ; we do not
therefore, say much in praise of the debutant, when we say, we never
saw it bett'T, if so well acted before. He bears a striking resemb'ance
to his brother, but is a stouter, and we should think an older man, he
did not attempt to make much of his part, but all he did, he did with
judgment. Mrs. Faucit was very well dressed as Portia and played
the part sensibly. The play altogethei was very well acted, and was
announced for renetition on IMonday next with considerable applause.
Auber's beautiful Opera of JMasaniello was given by way of afterpiece.
There was a very good house.

evening, when J\liss Lawrence, in consequeuce of the continued indis-

Elizabeth Grey, end acquitted herself with great ability. Her acting
in the scene where her jealousy is roused by the assertion of Roger
Oldgrave, that his ward is in the hands of the King, and which is
confirmed by the insiouations of the Widow, was uncommonly spi-
rited, and she was equally clever in the subsequent scene where she
